    Abstract:
    Plant volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are organic chemicals that plants release as part of their natural biological processes. Various plant tissues produce VOCs, including leaves, stems, flowers, and roots. VOCs are essential in plant communication, defense against pests and pathogens, aroma and flavor, and attracting pollinators. The study of plant volatiles has become an increasingly important area of research in recent years, as scientists have recognized these compounds' important roles in plant physiology. As a result, there has been a growing interest in developing methods for collecting and analyzing plant VOCs. HS-SPME-GC-MS (headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) is commonly used for plant volatile analysis due to its high sensitivity and selectivity. This chapter describes an efficient method for extracting and identifying volatile compounds by HS-SPME coupled with GC-MS in tomato fruits.
